There are 2 types I'm aware of. They are Mercury and Alcohol. Alcohol is used in very cold temperatures as it does not freeze.
1. Clinical Thermometer 2. Laboratory Thermometer 3.
Purchase a good quality thermometer specific to the type of temperature you need to monitor; IE: Medical, cooking, pool or fish tank. There are different type, but digital thermometors are the most accurate.
Three different types of thermometers are :- 1. Liquid thermometer 2. Digital thermometer 3. Laser thermometer
dial thermometer
Temperature major through a thermometer, one is contact type thermometer another one non contact type.Non contact type thermometer known as laser thermometer. With non contact type thermometer or leaser thermometer you will read out temperature from a particular long distance without contact the particular point which temperature want to know.Contact type thermometers are glass type thermometers, analogue or digital read out type. Digital thermometer and analogue dial read out type thermometer have a sensor and that sensors must be to touch hot or cold point to read the temperature.Best use of contact type thermometer is uses full in a closed area. To know grill temperature of a slip Air Condition best use nonContact thermometer to read exact temperature.
Your answer depends on the subject being measured. Out of doors, one would choose an instrument that survives in the extreme cold, and delivers data in the measuring system required. Without endorsement, you can review the different types of thermometers below: http://www.atp-instruments.co.uk/different-types-of-thermometer
It is a thermometer using the platinum wire as sensor (resistance thermometer); the resistance of the wire is proportional to the temperature. This type of thermometer is used under 600 0C.

a lab thermometer did not have a constriction as compared to clinical thermometer. it have a wide range of measurement and usually contains alcohol
